The rooms are very intelligently set up. Great electrical plugs, excellent coffee, wonderful bed, good air flow to make use of cool mountain air. Owner/host is super friendly and mellow. An outstanding experience that is a perfect antidote to corporate hotel experience

The owner manager Russ will take care of you! He runs an excellent motel. For what looks like your run of the mill motel this is not! Great bed, sheets, coffee!!! Everything is a step above what you would think it would be. Also a great place to explore Grand Escalante from! Oh and super clean!!!

This is a classic roadside motel that's been cleaned up and updated inside. Very basic but very adequate. Clean and good to stay at.

Este lugar merece mas de 5 estrellas. Tuve un cambio de plan en mi viaje a Escalante, asi que contacte al hotel para informarle que haría el check in despues de las 9:00 pm, la persona que me atendio fue muy amable y dijo que no habia problema y que esperaria mi llegada. La habitacion estaba muy limpia, con servicio de Internet, refrigerador, microondas. Las camas y almohadas fueron muy comodas, lo que te ayuda a descansar despues de un largo dia de hiking. Definitivamente recomiendo que si visitas Escalante consideres hospedarte en The Padre Motel.
